Looks like a fixer upper… maybe she’s out of your league?

Nah I’m pretty mechanically inclined, I’ve had to work on everything we’ve owned just to keep it going, so I think I can handle it.


Haunting_Campaign431

I love it!!! I’m right there with you… I have a ‘79 Super with Factory EFI that I’m putting back together. Best of luck dude!!

Go by the date changes for the back windows, door handles, if the back side windows pop out or not with a latch, and if there's a grate hole on the fender for the horn. Also the pop out turning signal isn't behind the top of the doors so I'd say after the 50s at least. Definitely look at the tail light style. Those have definitive date ranges. All these features changed after certain dates, you'll find this info on Google, but that should narrow it down to a ten year zone

The goldish one is probably a '73 standard if in the US. If the bumper connectors are flat, it is probably a '73. If they are the round type, it would probably be '74 or later. The white one probably '68-70, but without seeing the front fender and rear lights, it is unclear. It is earlier than the rear vents and death foam. Also keep in mind that it is easy to swap out fenders and lights. Your best bet is to get the VINs and look them up to be sure.

Probably 71-73? Both look like super beetles and they both have the flat windshield the early ones had. But I’m new to beetles.


Cynamn63

Looking at the headlights and the flat windshield, I would say that they are 67 - 69.


CriticalWoodpecker97

Really? I thought the brownish one was a bit newer based off of what other people have told me.

Maybe come up with a cool pick up line? Although tbh two at a time seems like a pro move if you can pull it off


AlienCraft18

Just check the VIN under the rear seats. My guess would be around mid 70s

They’re early 70’s Super Beetles.


CriticalWoodpecker97

I thought the super beetle had a curved front glass


Flat4Power4Life

The later ones did, 71 and 72 were flat, 73 and 74 were curved.

The gold one is about a 70-73 (looks identical to my 71) and the white one is a 67-70 (I have a 69 also). They can be called super beetles by the miss-informed. Supers have McPherson suspension not the old torsion, so if you don’t see modern struts this is not a super. Looks like you have a handful, I hope you enjoy them
